So thought I’d share a few snaps from a quick walk I just took around the farm.
That won’t be doing much work this harvest I fear ๐๐. My dear father in law is one of those farm hoarders … ‘might come in useful one day’ type approach. And there’s me trying to live a Matsu life and de-clutter as I go now.
Matsu would be so proud of me but I’m hoping you will be too. Today I swept the patio ๐ฅ
Yes. And what’s more, I really enjoyed it… I did that thing around the edge, not with the correct tools like real garden-lovers posses, but an old set of shears, a dustpan and brush and a co-op bag to contain the rubbish – such a rebel (it’s ok, I’ve got 97 under the sink to recycle).
I paused to drink squash and swore under my breath that the sun was no longer out – please don’t say that was our summer or I may have turn into Dracula’s wife (did he have one?)
Don’t laugh … I even washed some of the more mossy slabs! The effect is really quite sumptuous. I sat and admired, like one can who works from home, mentally listing all the things I should really have been doing.
But, sir, I’ve done my homework! Yes I have ๐. A dialogue-only piece. No stage directions, no ‘he said, she said’ indicators. But 500 words of dialogue only, between two people from our WIP novel ๐ฑ to see if we could find quality dialogue between them to show clarity about who’s speaking! I enjoyed it. Maybe I’ll share it with you when the course is over. It would be placed in a scene in a future chapter I’ve yet to write ironically!
Saw a card today with this message on the front and thought I might frame it rather than send it. ๐ธ
Had to be done!
Hope you are well. Talk to me … what have you been doing since the sun went away??
I love when the garden is just tidied, the patio is clean and you can have a glass of something and admire your work. Well done.

Thank you; I so agree.
Iโd truly forgotten how satisfying working in there can be.
And I wake this morning to see the work is still done, I hadnโt dreamt it!!!! ๐ฅ๐ธ
